I'm sure this has been discussed before but I need some advice and help. My project got side lined for the past few years and I'm finally dusting it off. Got more time and less money than before, but here goes.
I'll be attempting to set my 200 TDi in my 94 90 this weekend and wanted to have some of the smarter people tell me if I'm going about it right. I'm on a budget so i'm trying to avoid buying new motor mounts ( i know they're cheap ) and the x cross member. I'm cutting the old mounts off and will re weld. I'm lining the motor up based off the radiator and fan shroud. Using the fan to center the motor left to right and placing the crank pulley about and inch and a half off the shroud. Should allow about one inch clearance between ps pump and steering box. Trying to level motor left to right best I can
Then I'll use the transmission mounts to make sure the back end is centered and will drill new holes at the same distance from top rail down as old holes and roughly two inches further back.
Since this is something I have zero experience with this is the best I can come up with. Have I missed anything fatal. Thanks for any advice.
